"I ’M nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know

How dreary to be somebody! 5
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog! "

That is a poem by Emily Dickinson.

Now think of those drunken idiots who ruin parties. Thats what I get out of the song.

My interpretation of this song is that someone has interfered with something and another was paying enough attetion to make them pay for their mistake....I have a feeling I am wrong though....

This is interesting. I just finished a semester of American Lit where we discussed Dickinson. When we read this particular piece I thought of this song as well. However, going back, I'm not sure the song and poem really coincide.

I always thought this song was sung from the perspective of a person whom someone else is trying to help. Perhaps a shrink and a patient. The person possibly recognizes just how fucked up he himself is, and is warning whoever to watch out and perhaps fuck off.

Thoughts?

You really can't go wrong with Dickinson and Tool.

If you get what I'm saying.
